even as "a necessary object of worship"
and his Word as embodying the highest
life for the world. We should be glad
to have pointed out the foundation
DR.. Abbott has for his faith in Christ,
when the only account we have of our
Lords life and teachings, his ministry,
death and resurrection, is embraced in
the very record which it is the purpose
of his volume to invalidate and prove
utterly unworthy of intelligent accept
ance What in fact does he, or any
one else, know of Christ or Christianity
apart from the New Testament And
If he claims any knowledge on the
matters included in the New Testa-
ment, how does it happen that he can so
surely discriminate between the sub
stance and the accretions OF the gospel,
as to make one a matter of faith, while
summary rejecting the other2
DR.. Abbotb's rhetoric and literary
ability, assisted by the promptings of
his devout. spirit and fine candor, are
not sufficient for the task he has at
tempted in his well written and inter-
esting volume. The ability is not given
to any man to prove the New Testa-
ment record of delusion and illusion,
and at the same time preserve the re-
of hi f,Nr skeo 81
ing. The cleavage is so radical and
fundamental that it penetrates to the
kernel" as well as the ''husk," and
puts Christianity at once in a suspicious
attitude before the world. Mankind
need not be expected to retain respect
for system which has to be Invested
OF SO many myths, fancies, and various
irrationalities, before its great Teacher
and teachings can be honestly accepted.
The common sense view is that respect
for Spiritual Christianity" or the es-
sence of Cnrist's teachings, will be
largely impaired, when we conclude
with DR.. Abbott, that the so-called
divine record involves so much fraud,
and delusion in its accessories. Given
this view of the ''husks," and the "ker-
nel'' will be at once suspected of IN
unsoundness.
While DR.. Abbott's purpose is to
rear fabric of Christianity without
the historical accompaniment of miracle,
and to strengthen faith in Christ, and
make more potent the sway of his
teaching, unbelievers of the present
age will not be influenced by his argu-
ment. On the contrary they will be
confirmed in their skepticism by 'The
Kernel and the Husk," and will feel
authorized to repudiate the entire teach
ing which is confessedly mixed up with
such an enormous amount of fraud and
delusion, according to DR.. Abbott's
own showing.

HERMAN LoTZE, whose reputation
as profound thinker and Christian
student is unsurpassed by that of any
other name of this century, says in his
Philosophy of Religion, page 81: :" 1t is
impossible to speak of Gods honor as
receiving satisfaction, through the sac
rificial death of single person, for the
injury done it by the sin of man." Such
a view, he concludes, is based upon a
somewhat crude conception of God"
and the altogether impossible concep-
ton of solidaric unity of the human
race, and of the possibility of transfer
of its guilt and obligation to single
representative"

DIR. JOSEPH PARKER, of Londos
will soon arrive in this country, to give
the Beecher memorial address in Plym-
outh church. 1t is intimated that he
may, as it were, kill two birds with the
one stone-eulogize Beecher and show
off DR.. Parker as a possible successor.
1t will not go. Beecher's pulpit is too
big a place for even this big English
man. 1t demands, in all its relations, an
American administration, and no Eng
lishman can possibly fill the great va
cancy. We don't imagine DR.. Parker
will get the ''call."

Mr.. D. L. MOODY comes to Chicago
this week. His church, now under
charge Of Rev. Mr.. Goss, is in trouble
with the pastor, or the pastor in trouble
with the church, and Moody is needed
as a peacemaker. 1t seems that Mr..
Goss is not enough of revivalist to
suit the people, prefering to discuss
social and practical topics in the pulpit,
and to give the doctrine wide berth.
Mr.. Goss is about right. Bad doctrines
are best placed when kept out of the
way.

WE are evidently in an epidemic of
disaster. Half dozen railroad wrecks
followed last week, the Chatsworth

THE Springfield Republican remarks
that "the unloading or casting aside Of
all non-essentials is without question
the course of theology to-day in spite of
all attempts to the contrary" Very
likely; but the discussion as to the essen

for sometime. Very pronounced opin-
ions center around just these things.

True RELIGION is a knowledge and
approval of the nature and character of
God. 1t views i'm as the creator and
sustainer of all things-as infinite in
power, wisdom and goodness sand as

it contemplates the Deity in this view, it
approves, adores and loves; and fame
is enkindled which Eliminates and glad.

religion dispels the clouds of ignorance
and scepticism, and reveals God to the

In an old history of Connecticut, we
meet with surprising aDecdote of the
celebrated George Whitfield, who it
seems, once attempted to perform mira
Gle. 1t is stated that in 1740, while on
visit to old Ssybrook in that State, Whit
field attempted to bring down the walls
of the fort then standing there as Joshua
brought down those OF Jericho, to convince
the gaping multitude of his divine mis-
sion. He walked seven times around the
fort with prayer and rams horns blow
ing. He called on the angel of Joshua to
come and do as he had done at the walls
Of Jericho; but the angel was deaf, or on
journey, or asleep, and therefore the walls
remained. Here upon George cried aloud

The Peoria National Democrat, of
Aug. II, contained the following person
al note:
"Rev. George B. Stocking returned last
evening TO Spirit Lake, Iowa. to complete
his vacation, which was so suddenly spoiled
by the Chatsworth catastrophe. Mr.. Stock
ing was called from his retreat by the sudden
death of number of our citizens, whose
funerals he was requested to attend by their
friends and families. Mr.. and Mrs. Stock
ing had just become nicely ensconced at the
Hotel Orleans, at Spirit Lake, when the
great and terrible accident occurred. They
will remain away until about the first of Sep
tember.''
The funerals referred to above were in
families outside of the congregation of
the Universalist church. No member of
that congregation was killed in the dread
full calamity.

THE Haddock case is, we are glad to
observe, receiving attention from our
Western ministers. Especially in Iowa,
where the martyr fell, the revelations
made in the biography with reference to
his concealed Universalist opinions, are
being spread broadcast from the pulpit.
Rev. Mr.. Shook. at Clarinda, promptly
followed Rev. DR.. Oneil, who, in an in
considerate manner, attempted to deny
the facts, and answered the Methodist
divine, as might be expected, with crush
ing force. Rev. James Gorton, at Cedar
Falls, and Rev. W. A. Pratt, of Cedar
Rapids, have also discussed the subject
and drawn the appropriate lesson. Push
this matter all along the line! It will re-
pay the attention of the pulpit.

-"IT is nothing" says DIR. Southwood
Smith, in his excellent treatise on Divine
Government, at is nothing to say, that
the happiness intended to be bestowed
upon his creatures by the Deity is con-
ditional. There can be no doubt that it
Is SO far conditional, that no being can
be happy until he becomes virtuous.
But the circumstances in which men are
placed and the ultimate effect of those
circumstances upon their character, were
clearly foreseen by the Deity, and if he
perceived that any individual, under any
particular combination of circumstances,
would never become virtuous, he would
either have altered his circumstances, or
not have called him into existence. One
or the other Of these measures benevo-
lence required"

LAMBERTvILLE, N. j., Feb. 20, 1887.
MR.. EDIToR:-There are some things
in and around our city that need the
authorities to properly attend to, at an
early day. There is in Swan creek, in
the township of West Amwell, about 800
yards east of our city line, dead horse
and COW, and on the bank of the creek
another dead horse, and yet that is not
all. There are also 10 the creek two bed
ticks and contents, two pillow cases and
contents and sheet This creek runs
right through our city and is calculated
to give us the same scourge that made
Plymouth notorious for disease and death
about year ago. This is beyond the
control Of our City Board of Health, to a
certain extent, and the townships are not
under sufficient law to bring guilty par
ties to immediate justice; but the remedy,
though slow, is sure. Should the Boards
of Health, both in our city and township,
bring the offending parties squarely to
terms, It might put a stop to this outrage
of exposing so many people to fearful d.
sease by throwing such material into our
water ways.
Our health officers both in city and
township have just examined the matter
and will, no doubt, clear up these nuis-
ances. I.M.T.

The Grand Army Bazaar,


The bazaar Of the Maj. c. A. Angel
Post, G. A. r., of this city, held during
last week, closed successfully on Saturday
evening. Several other entertainments
and the bad weather somewhat interfered
with it, but notwithstanding these, the
net receipts, which will exceed $500, were
very satisfactory. The Ladies' Auxiliary
Corps deserve credit for very big share
in the success of the bazar. The display
of fancy and other goods was unusually
fine, and the restaurant, presided over by
caterer Day, was extremely satisfactory.
The music and other exercises provided
each evening gave variety to the enter
tainment.
One Of The principal contests was for
a gold watch, which was offered to the
young lady collecting the largest sum Of
money; for the second largest sum the
collector was to receive gold ring, and
for the third largest, pair of gold brace

Nellie Akers, Of Trenton, who collected
$4,000; Miss Dora Weller, Of New Bruins
